He's an actor?

About Me

i am an actor from eden, new york who got bachelor's degees in english and theatre from the university of rochester and a master's in curriculum development for deaf students from a joint program between the u of r and rochester institute of technology. i am an alumni of the national theater institute from the eugene o'neill theater center, and the artistic director of the cleveland shakespeare festival.
i have performed with many theatres (shakespeare in delaware park in buffalo, bristol valley theatre, sunshine too at RIT, beck center, workshop players, ensemble theatre, great lakes theate festival, magical theatre company, fine arts association of willoughby, north carolina shakespeare festival, cleveland signstage theatre, cleveland shakespeare festival, contemporary american theatre company in columbus, and playhouse square among others.)
i am a sign language interpreter and do that, under duress, all over the place, for all sorts of situations, but i prefer theatrical interpreting. there is nothing more thrilling than cold-terping shakespeare!
i direct shows, a growing career, and hope to list more in the future.
